Expression wrinkles are caused by contractions of facial muscles and reflect our every feeling of joy, sadness, denial, thoughtfulness. They are a realistic reflection of what we feel.

While we are still young these wrinkles appear charming, but as we get older they deepen and make us look old.

With the weapons currently available to the plastic surgeon, this situation is reversible with the use of the No1 product in the world: botulinum toxin injections or botox or dysport!

They are safe and effective and are the perfect remedy for expression wrinkles. Botox achieves improvement, even elimination of these wrinkles, if you address the problem in time. In fact, Botox achieves immobilization of the muscle, blocking, in fact, the nerve signals that cause wrinkles.

The results of the treatment are discernible in three days and fully evident as of the 15th day, when I arrange a follow-up examination, and last for 4 to 6 months.

If you are susceptible to the development of expression lines, which eventually lead to wrinkles, I might also recommend preventative Botox treatment as early as after the age of 20.

In this case baby Botox is used, a preventive treatment with lower-dose botulinum toxin.

Some facial wrinkles are caused by the weakening or sinking of the soft tissue, including lines which extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, and are generally better treated with hyaluronic acid and occasional Botox injections.

There are clear instructions to follow immediately after a Botox in order to achieve and retain the desired outcome:

  • For four hours you should not rub or press your skin, drink alcohol, or bend over or sleep.
  • For two days you should avoid heat, including the hairdryer, sauna, hot water, the sun, the fireplace.
  • Use high-protection sunscreen systematically.

In the hands of an experienced physician, the effect will meet your expectations. This means achieving a very natural-looking face that maintains its expressiveness and strong elements of youthfulness.

Botulinum toxin is also used cosmetically to balance any facial asymmetry or in the platysma muscle of the neck, which reveals ageing, as well medically for the reduction of perspiration and the treatment of migraines and headaches!
